Making Money Online
How many times have you heard, making money is easy, make money fast or make a $1000/hour. Trust me, making money is not easy. The internet is filled with money making scams and some are so dangerous that they can seriously rip you off your bank accounts.
I'm a student and I keep a look out for online and legit money making opportunities to earn some extra cash to fulfill my extra needs. But I'm very choosy about my work too. I can't risk giving out my personal info to any and every money making service that I come across. I believe in risk free jobs and services that hopefully bring me the money worth my time and the hard work I put in.
So if you think like me, then I've listed all the money making services that I've joined as they are legit. Take a look below and maybe you'll find an alternate to your day time job or a way of earning some side pocket cash ;-).
P.S: Remember, your success depends on how determined you are and how much work you put in. Money will not flow out from the below services, but if you're patient and serious about making good money, you'll have to put in work in order to achieve success.
Good Luck.

Free store Club
This company offers you free stores with no customization required. Although it's legit, I didn't join it because, every store contains the same products, only different markups set by store owners. Unlike cafepress and printfection where you have to post designs on products. Confused?For example, If I set a $5 markup on a mug and somebody else sets a lower markup on the same mug, I have chances of losing a sale because the other person charges less for the exact same mug.
That is the reason I didn't join the site. But it doesn't mean it can't work for you. If interested read below and check out the website for yourself.
What it is:
(a) An online company.
(b) Free 90 day trial on the free level store. You can also upgrade to silver, gold and platinum memberships.
(c) Available worldwide.
(d) Payment by check.
What it offers:
(a) A free store.
(b) Better deals for silver, gold and platinum members.
(c) Same products on every store.
What you have to do?
Just set markup and promote your store.

A little tip
To save money, buy one of those clay pots which have a coin slot in them. They're very cheap. When you get your allowance or salary, you can keep a small amount of it in the clay pot. Do this for a few months and break the pot when you're finally ready to see how much you've saved. Be patient though
